Getting a Survey in Birkenhead

The town of Birkenhead is situated in the north eastern part of Wirral and offers many things to visit and explore.

It is home to the renowned Birkenhead Town Hall, the focal point of Hamilton Square which was first opened back in 1887 and refurbished in 2001.

It still maintains many of the original features inside, some of which can occasionally be viewed during the Heritage Open Days that are held each September.

Hamilton Square’s construction began in 1825 and took 22 years to complete. Today, Hamilton Square remains one of the most attractive places to visit in Wirral and has the most Grade I listed buildings outside of London.

One of the oldest standing buildings on Merseyside, is situated in Birkenhead, which is the St Mary’s Tower & Birkenhead Priory.

The Queensway road tunnel opened in 1934 and this gave easy access to Liverpool. This subsequently opened up the Wirral Peninsula for development, and prompted further growth of Birkenhead as an industrial centre.

Of more recent time, Wirral Council has developed a framework for the transformational regeneration of Birkenhead, the Birkenhead 2040 Framework. This is a 20-year plan which sets out the significant proposals for the town since the 1947 Town Plan.

These proposals aim is for the creation of family-friendly neighbourhoods with beautiful, green public spaces and parks. The plans aim is to re-connect the revitalised town centre with the amazing opportunities along the Mersey waterfront, and will make the most of the town’s iconic heritage and buildings.

Birkenhead has property and buildings of all shapes and sizes with varying age and styles, and when you need a survey, you can be assured our expert team of Birkenhead RICS Chartered Surveyors are here to help you.

Common Survey QUESTIONS in BIRKENHEAD
Do I need a survey buying a house in Birkenhead?

Firstly, it is important to remember that if you are getting a mortgage, the lender’s valuation is not a survey.

The main purpose of a mortgage lender’s valuation is to confirm the mortgage offer and may only briefly mention defects that affect the property as security for the mortgage loan.

Buying a home in Birkenhead might be one of the most expensive and biggest decisions you will ever have to make, and it is key to remember the importance of getting a survey.

A survey carried out by a qualified RICS surveyor can help highlight any problems or defects with the property that may not be immediately obvious when viewing your new dream home.

When should I arrange a home survey?

Normally, once you have had your offer on the prospective property accepted you should book a home survey.

Remember it is a good idea to book the survey as soon as possible once your offer has been accepted, in order to understand what condition, the property is in before you fully commit to purchase.

This will also help you to understand whether the price you’re paying for the property is reasonable and, if not, you can look into potentially renegotiating the sale price.

How long will it take to receive the survey report?

Usually, we aim to deliver all reports within five working days, inline with our terms and conditions.

Our timescales allow for surveyors to reflect, and provide a detailed and comprehensive survey report, going through internal audit, in order to provide you with a professionally high level of service to help assist you in making an informed decision.

We keep you fully up to date with the progress of your survey, and you can also track the progress via your client account.

We also offer a fast-track service for when you are in need of a quicker turn-around.

For more information about turnaround times, feel free to get in contact. We’ll always do our best to meet our customer’s needs.

Can I get a Home Survey on my own property?

Yes, you can get an RICS Home Survey done on your own property.

This can often be a useful tool when it comes to selling your home. It can provide you with an insightful assessment of the condition of your property, and can provide you with details on any defects or maintenance issues that may need addressing.

This can help you decide whether or not you should make improvements before you sell, and give you the knowledge of any defects that may be present which could be highlighted during the sale and cause a delay.

You can get a survey on your property at any time. If you have particular concerns or are just curious about the condition, it could be a good idea.
